QAM : quadrature amplitude modulation : a modulation scheme which conveys data by changing (modulating) the amplitude of two carrier waves, usually sinusoids which are out of phase with each other by 90° (called quadrature carriers). In digital QAM, the sets of modulated amplitudes and selected phases of two carrier waves are used to transmit some binary numeral; then each signal transmitted can carry two or more bits (as many as 256 in 256-QAM modulation). | |||
